The Prefecture of Ilha Comprida, on the coast of São Paulo, today suspended the sanitary barrier that since March 19 controlled access to the municipality, as a way to control contamination by the coronavirus. In a video posted on a social network, Mayor Geraldino Júnior (PSDB) said that, with the sanitary barrier, the administration “cannot control the flow without generating agglomeration and without generating a long queue.”
The city posted on its website that there was a “strong holiday movement this Saturday.” The city is in the yellow phase of the São Paulo Plan, which stipulates rules to ease quarantine. The hotels in the municipality can receive visitors and vendors and kiosks can return to serve customers on the beach, following the rules of distancing.
A decree of August 26 extended the quarantine in Ilha Comprida until September 6. The determination maintained the sanitary barrier, but freed access to the city for the owners and relatives of the residents, after completing a registration form on the website of the city council where the visitor pledged to adopt measures to prevent the coronavirus.
In the video, Geraldino Junior assures that the purpose of access control is so that there are “no inconveniences for those who live in the city.”

Yesterday, the government of São Paulo announced today that 95% of the state’s population is in the yellow phase of the gradual economic recovery plan. Only the Franca and Ribeirão Preto regions are in the orange phase.
The São Paulo Plan, a state resumption program, foresees five phases: the red one is the most worrying situation in relation to the new coronavirus pandemic and imposes more restrictions on the population; then orange, yellow, green and blue appear. The last phase is for when the stage is controlled.
The regions classified in the yellow phase can reopen activities such as shopping centers, shops, bars, restaurants, beauty salons, hairdressers and gyms. All with reduced capacity and limited opening hours.
To move from one phase to another, each region is analyzed according to five criteria: bed occupancy rate in intensive care units (ICU) due to the new coronavirus, number of ICU beds per 100,000 inhabitants, evolution of new cases in last seven days, evolution of new hospitalizations in the last seven days and variation of deaths in the last seven days.
